Divina chuckled, "Ultimately, my father told me I had to marry someone, and Aiden was the best option. But I have to admit, no one could have made me happy the way he does. I wish I could read him as well as he does me."
Lana smiled, "well, you have a lot of time together to learn."
Divina chuckled, "I don't know. He's thinking of rejoining the school next year to help you."
Lana smiled, "that won't be necessary. We are quite strong. I can't stop him if he really wants to but our teams each have 6 people now. We only need 5 based on the requirements. We'll see how time progresses, I guess."
Kyle wrapped his arm around his wife, "we'll let you guys enjoy the dance floor and finish greeting our guests." He turned to Aiden, "thank you once again for your kind words during your speech as Best Man. I really appreciate it!"
Aiden chuckled, "I meant every word." He nodded toward Lana, "have fun," as he winked knowing full well Kyle's desire to vacate the premise.
Soon they were ready. Little did they know, their mothers were keeping an eye on them and Gerald was on top of everything.
Bianca and Cere approached, "you need to throw your bouquet," Bianca whispered in Lana's ear.
Gerald was already tapping on a glass to get everyone's attention, asking for all single ladies to head into the grass. Lana chuckled watching the commotion. She had never even attended a wedding before, so she was just going with the flow.
"Why do I want to throw my beautiful flowers again?" she asked as she had Kyle take them from the sleeping Kent.
"It's a tradition that implies who will be the next to get married among those who attended," Cere responded. "Some weddings did something similar with the bride's garter belt with the Best Man putting it on her with his teeth. The higher up he goes, the longer they will be together…"
"But we didn't want Kyle killing Aiden, so we didn't have that happen here."
Lana's face was glowing a bright red at the thought of a man other than Kyle being near that area of her. "I also am truly grateful that wasn't proposed…"
The mothers chuckled, knowingly.
It looked like all the ladies were assembled so Lana asked what to do. She stood a few feet from them and turned around. She threw the flowers over her head hoping she didn't bean anyone in the head. She heard screams and turned around. Three people had caught it all at once. She knew them all. It was Dilly, Rene, and Marie. Lana chuckled then frowned when she saw her poor broken flowers.
Kent woke up when she threw the flowers and expressed his displeasure at his nap being disturbed. Lana chuckled. She knew he was hungry; we'll be on the ship soon and I'll feed you. I don't want beast bits on my dress.
Kent nodded and settled down while his tummy rumbled. The girls chose Rene to be the one to keep the flowers. Once Lana was pleased they would not come to blows over the flowers, she turned around and smiled at Kyle, wanting to leave. Cere then grabbed her hand.
"You guys need to leave in this direction so they can throw bird seed at you…."
"WHAT???"
Cere chuckled. Kyle knew this was coming and really didn't want their clothing covered in seeds but knew they would be cleaned up later anyway.
Kyle leaned down to her ear, "it used to be rice until they discovered it was killing birds. It's about wishing fertility…"
Lana's face went beet red. Kyle looked at his mother and his mother-in-law, "lead the way."
"Kent, come down into my arm for this."
He quickly followed. The idea of things being thrown at him wasn't something he understood, yet but his mom's reaction was enough.
Kyle looked at his mother, "before we leave, for now I want to designate you as the temporary head of house."
He pulled the book from Lana's bracelet and handed it to her.
Bianca was happy but not super happy. Visions of her mother's leadership still impacted her. They had begun counseling, but it would take a long time.
"I'll do the best I can. I hope I make you proud."
Kyle nodded then faced the long line of people in front of them. It was like a gauntlet, people on both sides waiting to get bird seeds all over him. He was just glad it was something that rolled off and the birds on the island would eat well today. Why am I so disgusted by bird seed but not beast blood… He shook off the thought, but it had a valid ring to it.
He smiled at Lana, "ready?"
"If this is what stands between my feet being free of torture, let's go quickly!"
Kyle chuckled and went to pick her up but thought better of it. She'd end up with a pool of seeds around all those diamonds. He held her hand tightly and they walked quickly. Soon Kyle carried her onto the ship, placed her in a seat and took off the torture devices. As Tanisha took to the air, Kyle rubbed Lana's feet.
It seemed too quick for the couple in getting to their destination. Kyle put the torture devices back on her feet to walk through the lobby. As they walked through the doors, they were met by the hotel manager and were escorted to their room. They never touched a door and walked on rose petals the whole way.
Kyle carried her once they were through the lobby. The standers by applauded, whistled and offered their congratulations. They were quite gracious despite their only desire being getting out of their clothes.
Kent rode on Lana's chest, purring. He liked daddy carrying mommy. It meant he could be close to both of them.
Tanisha followed them to be their attendant while they were in the seclusion of their room. Her job was to slide food on trays just inside their door to keep them nourished then get them back to school early Monday morning. She looked around the room and paid no mind to the couple vanishing behind a door. She gave a list to the manager. He nodded and left. She sat on the couch to watch a movie, turning the volume as high as she could stand it.
Behind the closed door, the couple didn't take in the extraordinary view, the incredible décor, the care the staff took in preparing their room. The minute the door clicked their mouths found each other in a flurry of passion. Kyle kicked off his shoes. Kent quit purring and protested. After a few moments they relented to his desires and placed him on the bed. He found a pillow and curled up, covering his eyes with his tentacles.
Fire burned in Kyle's eyes, "so what kind of crazy contraption did she make for you? No zippers… No buttons…"
Lana chuckled, "there are zippers…you need to find them."
She guided his hands all over her body undoing one after another. Soon she was down to the last layer. The top of her dress was actually a 1-piece, diamond-studded body suit fit to give her husband's eyes a feast. Her legs were covered in diamond-studded stockings affixed to a garter. Her bare skin had diamonds attached.
Kyle's breath caught in his chest as he gazed at the sight of his diamond-studded wife.
"How... You... You're so beautiful…" Kyle was flustered and lightly grazed his wife's arm. "What are these attached with?"
"Edible glue…"
Kyle gasped then a grin spread across his face. Keeping his eyes locked on hers, he picked her up. He laid her on the bed and kissed the back of her hand then licked and sucked the diamond off, cleaning her skin. Shivers raced through her. He repeated this all the way up her arm to her neck. His hands caressed her body, removing some articles of clothing. Soon her body was shaking. He kissed her deeply until the shaking stopped.
Lana reached up to undo the buttons on his jacket, and he lightly slapped her hand away. He took it off and allowed her to work on the buttons on his shirt while he took off the rest of the diamonds, saving the best for last, those on her neck.
Somehow, she managed to get the buttons undone on his shirt despite the shivers and tremors his touch induced. He shrugged the shoulders of the shirt off his body and then removed it the rest of the way. His fingers found a different place to use as a playground and soon she was gasping, moving to the rhythm, and screaming out his name.
She could feel his smile against her neck which made her heat increase. As her trembling came to an end, she could feel his fingers trailing up her body, finding the final zipper and freeing her flesh from its bindings. His finger grazed what was exposed, sending more shivers through her. Her body was on fire and she needed more. Much more.
She heard his belt unbuckle and the zipper go down. She brought her legs up and hooked her toes into both garments. With one swift movement, they were almost off. She was too short but neither cared. It was enough. He positioned himself while keeping his gaze locked with hers. He brought her arms above her head and pinned them with one hand. All he could think of was how lucky he was to have intimacy with an amazing partner. She met him as he joined his body with hers and matched his pace, both consumed by their love and passion until each other's names escaped their lips simultaneously.
